A trial was set for Nov. 18, and Kokesh’s supporters had been advocating for jury nullification in his case.

But on Wednesday, standing next to his new attorney, Kokesh pleaded
guilty to carrying a rifle or shotgun, possession of an unregistered
firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition. In a separate case,
Kokesh pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of marijuana in the
District.

Kokesh is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 17. Broderick ordered
Kokesh to stay out of the District and said he must report in with
supervising authorities weekly. The judge also ordered that Kokesh not
possess any firearms. Kokesh faces a maximum of more than six years in
prison on the combined charges.
